RE: New Blackhawk Heli... A lil bigger than T-Rex

Padre, I'm right with you on the TRex CF blades. I bought a pair of 325 mm CF blades and had to file them down to fit in the blade holders. If the Walkera 36 blades work, go for it. The BH450...

RE: New Blackhawk Heli... A lil bigger than T-Rex

For what it's worth, I am using Align 325 mm blades and they felt significantly heavier than the stock blades, neither of which were actually weighed. The CG was slightly off between the 2 blades,...

RE: New Blackhawk Heli... A lil bigger than T-Rex

RE: New Blackhawk Heli... A lil bigger than T-Rex
